Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A distortion compensation device comprising: a memory configured to store a first table and a second table, different addresses being assigned to the first table and the second table respectively, each of the addresses being related to a different, respective distortion compensation coefficient to compensate for a non-linear distortion, a first address in the first table and a second address in the second table corresponding to respective first and second ranges of power or amplitude of a transmission signal, and parts of the first and second ranges overlapping each other; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: update the respective distortion compensation coefficients related to the first address and the second address simultaneously, in accordance with a single value of the power or the amplitude, and compensate for the non-linear distortion generated by an amplifier amplifying the power of the transmission signal, by using at least one of the first table and the second table.
2. The distortion compensation device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to: generate an address in accordance with the power or the amplitude of the transmission signal, select one of the first table and the second table depending on the generated address, and compensate for the non-linear distortion by using the selected table.
3. The distortion compensation device according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to apply weighting to the updating, in accordance with power or amplitude of a feedback signal from the amplifier.
4. The distortion compensation device according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to: generate the first address and the second address in accordance with the power or the amplitude of the transmission signal, count a first occurrence frequency of the first address and a second occurrence frequency of the second address, and determine a distortion compensation coefficient used to compensate for the non-linear distortion, based on the respective distortion compensation coefficients related to the first address and the second address, the first occurrence frequency, and the second occurrence frequency.
5. A distortion compensation method comprising: updating, by a processor, respective distortion compensation coefficients related to a first address in a first table and a second address in a second table simultaneously, in accordance with a single value of power or amplitude of a transmission signal, different addresses being assigned to the first table and the second table respectively, each of the addresses being related to a different, respective distortion compensation coefficient to compensate for a non-linear distortion, the first address and the second address corresponding to respective first and second ranges of the power or the amplitude, and parts of the first and second ranges overlapping each other; and compensating the non-linear distortion generated by an amplifier amplifying the power of the transmission signal, by using at least one of the first table and the second table.
6. The distortion compensation method according to claim 5 , further comprising: generating an address in accordance with the power or the amplitude of the transmission signal; and selecting one of the first table and the second table depending on the generated address, wherein the compensating includes compensating for the non-linear distortion by using the selected table.
7. The distortion compensation method according to claim 6 , further comprising: applying weighting to the updating, in accordance with power or amplitude of a feedback signal from the amplifier.
8. The distortion compensation method according to claim 5 , further comprising: generating the first address and the second address in accordance with the power or the amplitude of the transmission signal; counting a first occurrence frequency of the first address and a second occurrence frequency of the second address; and determining a distortion compensation coefficient used to compensate for the non-linear distortion, based on the respective distortion compensation coefficients related to the first address and the second address, the first occurrence frequency, and the second occurrence frequency.
